Hunter Bidens perverterade crack-kokain-sextape-email och dess politiska konsekvenser

Derkach held a press conference earlier Wednesday in Kyiv where he claimed to have documents showing how Burisma Holdings paid Joe Biden the lobbying fees.

Hunter Biden worked for Burisma while his father served as vice president and acted as the point man on US effort to stamp out corruption in Ukraine. Hunter was paid $50,000 a month.

“Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the US-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners,” Derkach told reporters, referring to the investment company the younger Biden founded with Chris Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry.

“The payment reference was payment for consultative services,” Derkach said, according to Interfax, a Russian news agency.

He went on to claim Burisma — according to documents — paid $16.5 million to former Polish President Aleksander Kwasnieski, who was chair of Burisma’s board, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer.

Archer, a partner in Rosemont Seneca, joined the Burisma board months before Hunter Biden did in 2014.

Their joining Burisma led to a falling out with Heinz, who eventually ended his business relationship with them.

Derkach claimed Joe Biden pressured Ukraine in December 2015 to force the resignation of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin and dangled $1 billion in loan guarantees as an incentive.

However, there are two big problems with the narrative presented by Trump and Giuliani, according to activists in Ukraine and others.

For one thing, Ukrainian prosecutors and anti-corruption advocates who were pushing for an investigation into the dealings of Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevskiy, said the probe had been dormant long before Biden leveled his demand.

”There was no pressure from anyone from the United States" to close the case against Zlochevskiy, Vitaliy Kasko, who was a deputy prosecutor-general under Shokin and is now first deputy prosecutor-general, told Bloomberg News in May."It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015," he added.

"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.

Ukrainian prosecutors have described no evidence indicating that Biden sought to help his son by getting Shokin dismissed -- and have suggested that they have not discovered any such evidence.

But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.

Shokin has said that at the time of his firing, in March 2016, he’d made “specific plans” to investigate Burisma that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”

Dear Hunter and Devon,

Following our talks during the visit to the Como Lake and our further discussions, I would like to bring the following situation to your attention.


As previously pointed out on a number of occasions, the representatives of new authorities in power tend to quite aggressively approach N. Z. unofficially with the aim to obtain cash from him. Initially, it was done by the representatives of Svoboda party and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These so called unofficial"communications" would entail blackmailing: in case we don't cooperate i.e.provide money in cash the gaz production business of N.Z. would be stopped,destroyed etc…


It’s important to note that Svoboda party is represented in the government by the General Prosecutor and by Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Of Ukraine. The last organ together with the State Geological and Subsurface Surveyof Ukraine, which is directly subordinated to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, are principal regulators in the area of issuing licenses fornatural resources and control.

After unsuccessful attempts to receive funds from our side, they proceeded with concrete actions.

So far we got information (through unofficial channels) that one or more pretrialproceedings were initiated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with regrad toBurima Holdings companies that are heavily engaged in gas production andhappen to be our Holdings' key companies.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs contacted the Ministry of Ecology and NaturalResources and the State Geological and Subsurface Survey of Ukraine to obtainall documents concerning licenses issued since 2006 until now to the companiesof our Holding. Apart from that, they would unofficially approach our partnres, clients, supplierstrying to intimidate them to stop working with our companies.
